>I would advise against this type of toilet... any of these types of units 
>have come back to haunt us!

1) the fiberglass top of the unit, has a tendency to rub even us less 
endowed guys the wrong way.
2) the urine tray seems to get plugged w/ peat moss and then its a REAL 
treat to clean!
3) even w/ the 4" stack and the evaporator heater of 250+ Wts/hr., any more 
then 2 well informed persons can quickly overwhelm this wonder of modern 
technology.
Steer clear, have the customer find other folks that are happy w/ their 
composting toilet.... I suspect there will quickly be an alternative.
